IN the street in Il manner that did
not come up to his honor's idea of

replied the judge, is always in Sos

\ singular event occurred at n
church at Willenhall, StafTordshire
A couple presented themselves TO be
married, and upon the clergyman
putting the question: "Wilt thou
have this woman for thy welded
wife," the bridegroom answered with
an emphatic NO" and left the
church. His explanation was that
year ago when he wanted to be
married his intended bride refused
and he thought the present occasion
afforded him the opportunity of
returning the compliment"
First pastor-You have a paid

Second-Yes, and very good
one.
First-I don't believe in them.

Second.-rhat's what ! thought
my dear brother, but it got so in my
church that we were compelled eth

omy we concluded to hire a choir
instead of a congregation.

The following story is told at the
expense Of New York clergyman

"Tins' amt SO good as ley was

And what was the disposition of

who recently lost his lnothcr-in law.
The disposition of the remains" he
replied, with real feeling, was quict
and peaceful.
1t was a south Boston school-hoy
whose bad behavior had led the
master to depart from his accustom-

next day the boy brought note -
The master read it as follows click

to him Peculiaritics about the
epistle led to inquiries; it turned
! out to have been written by the boy.
